Let’s not get down em yet because they traded away Drabek, Taylor, and D’Arnaud to get Halladay (on top of Marson, Carrasco, and Knapp for Lee previously), the Phils still got some firepower left in their system. An if you think they don’t have pitchers left you’re wrong, they could field an entire rotation with [...]

Well, the dream of Jason Bay returning to Fenway has officially died today. He’s accepted an offer from the Mets for 4yr/$66M with a fifth year option. Boston was only short six million dollars that would push the organization into the luxury tax category. Bay was nothing short of stellar in Fenway and should be [...]

I am still scratching my head, wondering why you would make a lateral move with two of the best pitchers in baseball. Phillies, what were you thinking? Roy Halladay is one of the best pitchers in the game today, and it is true that everyone else wants him on their squad. That is poor reasoning [...]

SI’s John Heyman just dropped this bombshell: The Phillies are in agreement on a three-team trade with the Mariners and Blue Jays to acquire star pitcher Roy Halladay, SI.com has learned. Sources say Halladay will agree to a contract extension to complete the deal. The Mariners would wind up with Cliff Lee in the deal. [...]

Man, Chase Utley is good at hitting baseballs over the fence. Stealing the glory right out from under Cliff Lee, the Philadelphia Phillies second baseman nailed not one, but two home runs in his team’s 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series. Chutley hit the go-ahead, three-run shot in the bottom of the [...]

The reigning World Champion Philadelphia Phillies’ roster is stacked from top to bottom.  They own the arms, they boast the lumber, and their defense isn’t too shabby either.  They possess all the swagger a World Series team should have. To top it off, they’ve managed to capture the best record over a 20-game span by a National League team [...]

The sport’s top spenders finally cashed in with their first pennant in six years Sunday night, beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 in Game 6 of the AL championship series behind the savvy pitching of Andy Pettitte(notes). Next up, New York hosts defending champion Philadelphia in the World Series opener Wednesday night. Cliff Lee(notes) is [...]

Congratulations to the reigning champion Philadelphia Phillies, who officially punched their ticket to a second straight World Series after winning the National League pennant with a 10-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday night. Five pitchers followed a shaky Cole Hamels for 4.2 impressive innings of relief, with Chad Durbin earning the win by [...]

Total domination. That’s what we like to call Cliff Lee‘s eight-inning performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday night. Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner struck out ten batters and allowed just three hits in all while facing only two batters over the minimum. This gives Lee a 2-0 postseason record and a minuscule 0.74 [...]

The Dodgers find themselves in an unusual position: worrying about making the playoffs. LA surged early in the season, building a double-digit lead on its punchless division rivals. But following a recent Mets-esque freefall the Blue Crew finds itself only two games ahead of the surging Rockies in the NL West. While Los Angeles should [...]
